Egyptian Presidential Candidate Praises bin Laden as a Martyr

An Islamist President in Egypt?

The rise of Hazem Salah Abu Ismail.

With the former president of Egypt on his back in a courtroom cage pleading for 

his life, we may be starting to get a clearer idea of who Egyptians will choose to 

succeed Hosni Mubarak in the upcoming November elections. Friday, July 29, tens of thousands of Islamists filled Tahrir Square, repossessing 

it from the secular activists who are commonly credited with spearheading the 

revolution that toppled Mubarak in February. What the Islamists wanted was 

recognition for their past role and appreciation of their growing political power. 

Muslim Brotherhood members mixed with Salafists, a more conservative variety 

of Islamist, as well as others sympathetic to their vision of an Egypt in line with 

God’s law. They prayed, protested, and chanted, and there was only one name on everyone’s lips—Hazem Salah Abu Ismail. Meet the man who may well follow 

Mubarak as Egypt’s first Islamist president.

HAZEM SALAH ABU ISMAIL
This 50-year-old lawyer is no stranger 
to large crowds and acclaim.  He’s a TV 
star whose weekly broadcasts on various 
religious channels over the last few years 
have covered a wide range of issues, from 
Islamic history and jurisprudence to 
politics and economics. Abu Ismail 
promotes Islamic finance, wants more 
sharia in the Egyptian constitution, and 
thinks the peace treaty with Israel should 
be trashed—all are controversial positions.
Abu Ismail announced his candidacy at the
 end of May, and if his success has taken some observers by surprise, it’s worth remembering that the Islamists’ show of strength at Tahrir also left bystanders and participants breathless. How did it come to pass that what seemed like a secular and democratic revolution could turn Islamist all of a sudden? The fact is, if Egypt is going
 to become a real democracy, then Islamists are going to play a major role, perhaps
 even the predominant role, at least for the present. Read the rest on: The Weekly Standard

According to the Weekly Standard (http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/islamist-president-egypt_592143.html?pag­e=1), Egyptian candidate for president Hazem Salah Abu Ismail "may well follow Mubarak as Egypt's first Islamist president." If so then this video clip--which was posted on YouTube on 4 August--might give us a frightening glimpse into what kind of partner in the War on Terror the new Egyptian regime will be.
